Thank you so much everyone for all your feedback since launch!
It's been really incredible to see everyone getting into the game and your screenshots. We really appreciate that you want to spend time with this underwater world we've created, and we're excited to give you an update here where we've made some changes based on your feedback (and of course bug fixes).
We've in particular made some changes to how severe and when certain hazards can show up, based on the feedback that has been posted here on Steam and in our Discord server. Balance for things like this is of course really important for games like this, so we really appreciate the feedback.
We'll continue to tinker with this, and will do our best, thank you so much again for your feedback and support!
